Watch out for that heavy machinery! Sexy young farmers strip off for a roll in the hay wearing nothing but flat caps and wellies

A group of young farmers have posed in nothing but wellies and flat caps for a daring photoshoot - all in the name of charity.
The men and women of Bedfordshire's Young Farmers stripped off for a series of nude photographs to raise money for mental health charity, Mind.

The charity calendar was the brainchild of 20-year-old Emily Steaggles after her best friend Lizzie Barnes tragically committed suicide in December 2012.

July features the Biggleswade boys baring all during a game of cricket, while the Leighton Buzzard girls are hitting the right notes in December, singing songs around the piano.

 

Emily, from Barton-Le-Clay, Beds, spent three months planning and shooting the calendar, with farming communities from all over Bedfordshire posing for the project.

Emily said: 'Lizzie introduced me to Young Farmers in 2006 and from day one I enjoyed everything it had to offer as did Lizzie. She entered almost every activity and competition going, and went to all the events.

'The last naked calendar produced by Bedfordshire Young Farmers Club was in 2009, Lizzie wasn't of age to participate but was very keen to if another one ever came about.

'So I decided a calendar would be a great way to celebrate all that YFC has to offer, and all the things that Lizzie enjoyed, whilst raising money for such a fantastic charity that helps people suffering with mental health issues, so they can get the help they need.

Serious machinery: Silsoe boys Liam Moody, Harry Chamberlain, Tom Harwood, Dave Russell, Andrew Redman, Joe Redman, Ben Jepps pose on tractors in a field for the calendar, which will see proceeds go to Mind

Dinner is served: North Beds boys Andy Bell, Simon Caves, Tom Harris, Ben Brown channel the butler in the buff look

'Mind is one of the most recognised mental health charities and it provides support and advice for those suffering, ensuring they are not alone.'

A total of 76 people took part in the £10 calendar, which also includes four horses, ten dogs and fourteen sheep.

Emily added: 'The Biggleswade girls who did a stock judging theme with the sheep had me in fits of laughter as sheep aren't the easiest animals to control, especially when they are being straddled by a girls who is completely starkers.

'The sheep were leaping about and trying to jump out of the pen while Gina Andrews, who luckily is a Jockey for a living, clung on in just her birthday suit.

'Nothing was too bad about the shoots, other than controlling lots of naked men; Woburn lads are a bit of a handful and have always enjoyed running around without clothes, which apparently is quite a regular occurrence.

'Some people jumped at the chance to show a bit of flesh, others only built up the courage because they knew it was for such a great cause and knew that Lizzie would be looking down laughing at us all.'

Making music: Leighton Buzzard girls Beckey-Jane Wighton, Anna Taylor, Anna Stone (playing piano) Ali Mackenzie, Pip Wass pose naked on the piano for the charity calendar

Horsing around: Silsoe girls Emily Steaggles, Lucy Barnes, Katie Skipper, Charlotte Tompkins, Elli Downing, Alice Redman, Harriet Ireland (in trough) Laura Millard, Lucy Gray, Jess Burr, Sid Quorn, Holly Jones pose up

Au natural: Bedford girls Harriet Wisson, Laura Douty, Claudia Wallis, Janet Dickinson, Hattie Oakley, Hannah Walton pose al fresco

Tribute: The charity calendar was thought up by 20-year-old Emily Steaggles after her best friend Elizabeth Barnes tragically committed suicide in December 2012

The female Viagra: Could this 'miracle gel' restore women's sex drive in just TWO WEEKS?

I get dozens of emails every day from woman desperate for tips on how to get their sex drives back.
What if I told you simply rubbing a gel onto your thighs or arms could get it back in two weeks?
I’ve seen this gel dramatically increase the sex drive of several women I know - with startling results - yet hardly anyone knows about it.
Testosterone gels, available on the NHS and privately, boost the level of the hormone which plays a role in our sex drive.

Tracey says there's an advantage to a slightly dampened libido - you're less likely to cheat

We think of testosterone as a male hormone (produced in the testicles) but women also produce it (in the ovaries) in lesser quantities.
If your testosterone level is low - which can happen pre-menopause, as well as after because the levels fall as age - the urge for sex decreases substantially.
Replace what your body isn’t producing anymore and you could find your sex drive is back to what it was in your 30s.

'I didn’t really expect results because, if I’m honest, I haven’t fancied sex with my husband for about 10 years,' said one 37-year-old woman who is a huge fan of the gel.
'But by week two, my sex drive came back. I hadn’t told my husband I was using the gel because I knew he’d be hurt if he realised I’d only been having sex to please him for years. But that weekend, I initiated sex for the first time ever and he was thrilled. I’m enjoying sex now more than I ever have.
'I’ve recommended the gel to other friends and they’ve got the same results.'

I believe the reason it’s not talked about or wildly popular is because we’re brainwashed to think that it’s ‘normal’ not to want sex once you’re past a certain age or been with your partner a while.

'The gel is simply rubbed onto the inside of your thigh or top of your arms, wait five minutes for it to absorb and expect results in anything from two weeks to a month'

But it is possible to fight mother nature.
Testosterone gels won’t make you fancy a partner you’ve grown to dislike or are repulsed by. It also won’t make a difference if your testosterone levels are normal or high.
But it will make you far more motivated to get intimate with a partner you love dearly, but no longer lust after. It negates the ‘I feel like I’m having sex with a sibling or best friend’ effect of long-term relationships.
'It’s sensible for women to be checked over to make sure low desire is a testosterone problem as opposed to something else that may need treating,' says Jeffrey Braithwaite, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at the Wimpole Street Clinic for Women in London.
'It’s also essential to check there aren’t other existing conditions or contraindications that may make using the gel dangerous. But the gels can be extremely effective if testosterone levels are low.'
Testosterone patches - which basically do the same job as the gel - have been around for a while but aren’t terribly popular because they slide off after a shower.
The gel is simply rubbed onto the inside of your thigh or top of your arms, wait five minutes for it to absorb and expect results in anything from two weeks to a month.

Replace what your body isn¿t producing anymore and you could find your sex drive is back to what it was

The joy of a gel is that, unlike a tablet, it’s much easier to get the dose completely right for your individual needs.
Mr Braithwaite recommends to start off using on a quarter of a 50mg sachet, once every two days, then add or decrease the dosage to suit.
Some women end up applying it once every three days, others just do it at weekends when they’re more likely to have sex so want to make sure they’re in the mood.
The trick is to get to the point where your sex drive is stronger but the side-effects - like irritability - are decreased.
'I did notice I felt a bit on edge and competitive when I first started using it,' said another woman who’s used the gel for years now. 'But I knocked back the dose and that irritability disappeared.'
Mr Braithwaite said not to be alarmed if you do an internet search on testosterone gels to find a warning that it’s only to be taken by men.
'It’s just that most companies only produce a male dose. Men rub in one sachet a day whereas women use it sparingly - around one eighth of the strength.'
Some women may also need an estrogen supplement because the two hormones work together well to lift libido.
And it’s not just your sex life that may benefit from the gel: low testosterone levels have been associated with Altzheimer’s disease and other memory problems, heart disease and lowered bone density.
If you’d like to try it, make an appointment with your GP to get your testosterone levels tested and take it from there.
It might just change your life

Why were Naomi, Christy and Linda giggling in a bathtub? Nineties fashion photographer reveals the real stories behind her candid behind-the-scenes snaps

As one of the first photographers to be allowed backstage during fashion week, Roxanne Lowit has, in three decades, amassed what is arguably the ultimate collection of candid celebrity images.
The New York-based photographer has snapped supermodels, designers as well as the likes of Pamela Anderson and Madonna, giving an insider’s glimpse into the fashion industry to reveal the magic and madness behind its glitz and glamor.
Now, a mini-retrospective from December 12th through January 18th, Roxanne Lowit: Be Fabulous, is set to display 60 of her favorite photographs at New York's Steven Kasher gallery.

As one of the first photographers allowed backstage during fashion week, Roxanne Lowit has, in 30 years, amassed the ultimate collection of candid celebrity images (pictured: Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista in 1990)

'When I started shooting, I was the only photographer backstage,' Ms Lowit told MailOnline. No one thought it was interesting. But to me it was where you got to see the magic unfold, where the transformation occurs.
'There is a frenetic energy, there is chaos, there are young girls doing what young girls do, laughing, gossiping, dancing, drinking. There are celebrities, models, designers. . . I simply capture the moments I see through my lens.'

One such moment saw Ms Lowit snap Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista in a bath, giggling. The picture, titled Three Models in a Tub, was taken in 1990 at the Versace Couture after party at Paris' Ritz Hotel.
'I asked the girls to get in the tub,' recalled Ms Lowit. 'Sylvester Stallone came into the room and threatened to pour champagne over them, which is why they are squealing in the shot.

'Afterwards when they got out of the tub, Linda went up to Stallone and pretended to punch him. I got a great shot of that too.'
Labeled a 'fashion’s historian. . . a witness to the marriage of vanity and fame,' by Karl Lagerfeld, Ms Lowit has accumulated more than 200,000 negatives and color slides taken at hundreds of fashion events in Paris, New York, Milan, and London since she first started taking pictures in the Seventies.
While she has borne witness to thousands of funny moments in her career, Ms Lowit's favorite stars Kate Moss and then Gucci creative director, Tom Ford.

Ms Lowit has often said her favorite show to photograph behind-the-scenes was Dior when John Galliano was creative director of the brand (pictured: John Galliano, Paris, 1995)

'Tom Ford was spraying Kate Moss with water at Gucci,' she explained. 'At this particular Gucci show the models were getting sprayed with a water bottle before exiting the runway. Not just their hair or their faces but their bodies too.

Congratulations! Singer Cher Lloyd 'marries' her boyfriend of nearly two years and posts intimate snap on Instagram

Cher Lloyd has surprised her fans by seemingly marrying her boyfriend of two years, hairdresser Craig Monk.
The pretty singer uploaded an image of the couple dressed in wedding attire onto her Instagram account this evening along with a simple love heart.
While there is yet to be a confirmation over whether the wedding is genuine, it certainly seems to be the case.

Dream in cream: Cher Lloyd appears to be wearing a cream wedding dress in her Instagram picture

The 20-year-old looked stunning in a white strapless lace dress with a simple veil.
She wore her hair down in loose curls and carried a large yet simple bouquet of roses.

 

Craig looked handsome in a suit with a single rose on the lapel.

Cher Lloyd has really got autumnal style covered this season, as she showed when she went out and about in New York to promote her new album. Along with super skinny berry jeans and black ankle boots with a gold toe and heel trim, Cher added this on-trend gilet to finish the look off.

In a far departure from her stage outfits, Cher cuddled up against the cold wind in the Big Apple in this khaki longline waistcoat with a vintage-style fur trim around the neck. Lighter than a coat, and adding a little more glamour, Cher even accessoried the gilet with a pretty brooch to add to the vintage feel.

A waistcoat is the perfect addition to your winter wardrobe to throw over a chunky jumper during the colder months, and this shade of khaki will help you hit the military trend head on to really command attention.

Since she seems to be taking America by storm, perhaps she picked up this little gem of a buy whilst over there, but never fear - you can channel Cher's chic style by shopping the edit below.

I'm A Celebrity contestant Amy Willerton has her 'Myleene moment' as she looks hot in the jungle pool wearing a sexy pink bikini

She already seems to have turned reality star, Joey Essex's head in the Australian jungle and now model Amy Willerton is set to send the nation's pulses soaring.
The pretty girl bathed in the jungle pool wearing just a tiny pink bikini on Wednesday, just like 2006 contestant Myleene Klass once did, although her two-piece was white.
The look is likely to get Amy more votes from the public and no doubt the outfit will impress fellow camp mate Joey, too.

Spot the difference: Amy and Myleene both posed in the jungle shower

Amy took her first few tentative steps into the freezing cold bathing pool on Wednesday, splashing water up her arms in a bid to get used to the temperature.

 

The former Miss Universe Great Britain kept her look simple, wearing a couple of bracelets and a pearl necklace.
She didn't seem to stay in the water for long before getting out and perching on a nearby rock to warm up.

Perfect 10: A gorgeous looking Amy stepped into the jungle pool to bathe

But she soon ventured back in and bravely got her hair wet, before lathering up with some shampoo.
Amy's dip came after snooker player Steve Davis played a prank on the rest of his campmates.
After swimmer Rebecca Adlington confessed that she had once weed in a swimming pool, Steve decided to wind everyone up by telling them he had gone for a pee in the camp pool. 

Ice ice baby: She gives her arms a good splash as she gets used to the cold temperature of the water

He said: 'I’m just following my hero in the swimming pool department. I thought, it’s good enough for a Gold medalist so it must be OK. I just followed in your footsteps.  It was recommended by a top class sports person.’
Meanwhile, newly single Joey Essex has already admitted that he would like to find love in Australia.
He said: 'If there was a nice girl in there and I got on really well with her, who knows what would happen?! A bit of eye candy would be nice so hopefully there will be a beautiful girl.'

Warm up: But the temperatures seemed to be too much for the star who soon got out and dried off on a rock

It remains to be seen what the star thought of Amy's latest get-up but he's likely to have been impressed.
Viewers saw Amy offering to give Joey a massage, much to his delight as he lapped it up and beamed: 'Have you done this before? You're quite good'.
The 23-year-old Fusey shop owner later told the Bush Telegraph on the ITV show later: 'It's nice, really nice, getting a massage off a beauty queen'.

Hot stuff: Amy is sure to get more votes in her pink two-piece

But she may have some stiff competition on her hands as Joey's ex-girlfriend, Sam Faiers is rumoured to be joining the jungle as well.
A source told The Sun: 'They're really keen to get her as Joey and Amy's friendship looks set to develop into more. So Sam turning up will throw a spanner in the works.'
They added: 'It will be a nightmare for Joey, which means TV gold. Sam and Joey are pals, so there won't be a fall out. But there'll be tension.'
The news came after the continuous flirting between Essex and Miss Universe GB Amy led their fellow campers to compare their antics to 'watching porn'.

Top stuff: Amy adjusted her sexy bikini top in scenes set to drive her fans wild

Luxury items: The 21-year-old reached for her shampoo to make sure she had a good clean

Rub-a-dub-dub: She got her hair into a good lather in the pool

Amy is set to become a real star of the show after displaying her enviable body.
Myleene's bikini shots became so famous that Marks and Spencer immediately signed her following her jungle stint.
And her bikini advert, made while she was five months pregnant, sent swimwear sales through the roof.

Loving life: The stunner takes in the beautful surroundings as she goes into a daydream

Suits you: Amy took a tentative step into the water where she showed off her enviable figure

Bronzed beauty: Amy pampered herself by the jungle pool

Wash and go: The model washed her hair in the freezing cold water

Pink-credible: Myleene also wore a pink bikini just like Amy's

Coronation Street's Anne Kirkbride 'broke down in tears' while filming Deirdre scenes without co-star Bill Roache

Coronation Street's Anne Kirkbride reportedly broke down in tears whilst filming scenes for Coronation Street on Monday.
The 59-year-old actress, who plays the iconic Deirdre Barlow, is said to be missing her co-star Bill Roache, who has been suspended after being charged with child sex offences, which he has strenuously denied.
On set, Deirdre had to be consoled by her on-screen daughter Kate Ford (Tracy) after their scene was brought to a halt, when production staff allegedly rushed to her aid.

In it for the long-term: Ken (Bill Roache) and Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride) have had a long and colourful relationship together on the show

A source told the Daily Star newspaper that the pair are close, adding: 'She's known him for 40 years and he's always been by her side helping her cope with the gruelling schedule all soap stars have to deal with.

'Anne has felt lonely without her close friend and it's understandable she's worried about him.'
However, after a brief break in filming, Anne - who plays the wife of Bill's character Ken - was able to return and carry on the scene with Kate.

Bad barnets: The pair have been together in the show and entertaining viewers for decades

The source added: 'She's a trouper though. After a cuppa and some time out she carried on with the scene.'
Bill, 81, has been written out of the soap since being charged with child sex offences.
The actor will stand trial in January 2014 over the allegations, which include a rape charge concerning a girl who was 15-years-old at the time.
Roach has also been charged with sexually assaulting another four girls, one as young as 11-years-old.
The allegations against Roache, who has played Ken for over six decades, are claimed to have happened in the Manchester area between 1965 and 1968 and involve four girls who were aged between 11 or 12 and 16 at the time.
A spokesperson for Anne Kirkbride has been contacted by the MailOnline for comment.
